This is the Meseta. I like it a lot so far! It is beautifully lonely and quiet, and, except for the mud, a pleasure for hiking.

When we left Hornillos this morning, it was fantastically foggy. Lovely! It cleared quite quickly, but everything was covered in dew.

We walked a fair bit in rain. And mud. So much mud in some places!

There weren’t many towns along the way, but Hontanas was one of the most beautiful small towns so far on the Camino.

We got to Castrojeriz a bit after 2. Castrojeriz is a bit bigger, and another beautiful place. It has a castle (abandoned?) high above the town. It is quite impressive.

We now are resting at our albergue, ready to march on tomorrow, rain or shine!
